Andrew Mead - The Complete Node.js Developer Course

Andrew Mead, who made this excellent Node.js course available on Udemy

Re-created a simple weather website using Node.js, Express, and Axios for submitting an API request to MapQuest and DarkSky to retrieve location information and the current weather, respectively.

This app is deployed to Heroku.

You will need to sign up for an API key at MapQuest and DarkSky to use this app locally via your localhost. Create a .env file in the root folder to store your keys and access them using the dotenv package.

After downloading or cloning the repo perform the following steps:

Open the project folder at the root in your terminal and run npm install to download the dependencies needed for this project.

Next, type node src/app.js to run the Express server which defaults to localhost:3000.
